First off, to all of
you who came to the Nagoya Dome yesterday - thank you very much!

Right, so here's
today's thought of the day; come on!

"To be
transported with joy."

[BGM 'Nihon Yoitoko
Maka Fushigi']

This is a
four-character idiom. The kanji that it's written with are 'dancing hands'
and 'stepping feet'. It's an expression used to describe when you're so happy
that you start moving your hands without thinking and stamping your feet in a
boisterous dance. In other words, it expresses dancing or jumping for joy.

I see. So when you
just randomly start moving, huh?

This was sent in by
listener Kubocchi-san of Sagamihara. The message reads:

"Satoshi-kun,
good morning. I watched the Music Station aired live on 23rd October. In the
'Nihon Yoitoko Maka Fushigi' performance, what I thought were Juniors who
surprised me by suddenly doing backflips turned out to be Satoshi-kun and
Nino! Man, that's really showing your true worth as Johnnys'; thank you for
going to such lengths to sing and dance like that on TV."

Ohh. How nostalgic,
huh? (laughs)

It makes our hearts
race every time though, on Music Station. Man, it's really been a while since
we did such a thing. Our hearts were fluttering. Man, basically... I'd done
backwards somersaults in Hawaii, right, so I still remembered how that felt
like, right? But I hadn't done a rondart backflip in years. Probably since 7
or 8 years ago, maybe? So before the actual performance, we had a
run-through, where we did everything like it was the real thing. Nino and I
were like, "Let's try it in the run-through" and all.

(laughs) And we were
like, "Yeah, if we don't manage to do it in the run-through then we
won't do it". It'd be terrible if we'd crashed into each other in the
real thing. So we just did it for the run-through.

So we managed it. It
was a little nerve-wracking, though. There was a changeover there, right?
After the song 'Kokoro no Sora' ended. We'd go to the opposite stage and
change to a different set.

So in short, there
were loads of cameramen and the assistants helping with the cables and so on.
So the fact that we had to do rondarts through that narrow space... And the
fact that we had Johnny's Juniors behind us... With all those restrictions,
the fact that we had to do it in that space... That was really scary.
(laughs)

Man, but, well, it
ended without incident. After it was over, it was a little... (laughs) We
really felt psyched up. It had really been a while since we'd done that.

Mm. Well, but after
that, it was the boss's birthday party. It was a good thing we didn't smash
into each other, really. Man, seriously, that was an unforgettable day. Yeah.
It was precious.

Our seniors' songs
are amazing, huh? Mm. It really felt Johnnys-like. The dance and all. It was
intense. That's right, after that we met Higashiyama-san and he told us,
"Oh, I watched it. You danced, right?" (laughs)

We were really happy.
Um, thank you very much for watching it in a timely manner.
